Chapter 87 Shifting the Blame to Others
As night fell, the lights misted, and the shopping streets near downtown were more bustling than they were during the day.
The classmate gathering party was set at 8:00 p.m. Qin Shu was not in a hurry and took her time to drive on the road. She stepped on the time and arrived at the gate of the agreed KTV.
This entertainment venue located in the golden commercial district was a typical place that swallowed money in City Lin. On the surface, it was a KTV. In fact, the place provided with all kinds of entertainment services including eating, singing, massage, etc. Many rich people liked to come here for fun, and the price was naturally astonishingly high.
Qin Shu stopped the car, and the doorman hurriedly stepped forward with a smile. He took her car keys to help park her car in the underground parking.
Just as she was about to enter, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side and stood in front of her, saying, “Qin Shu, I want to talk to you!”
The voice sounded familiar. It was Yang Bin, who had been waiting here for a long time.
Previously, he wanted to talk to Qin Shu privately, but he guessed that Qin Shu would definitely not agree, so he used the excuse of the gathering party to ask the Youth League Branch Secretary to call Qin Shu out.
After learning from the Youth League Branch Secretary that Qin Shu would come to the gathering party, Yang Bin came to the gate early and waited for Qin Shu. He wanted to take this rare opportunity to talk about the photo matter with her. He must not let her expose those photos, otherwise Tang Anru would be embarrassed.
Yang Bin had always been that self-righteously.
He thought he could talk to her just because he wanted to?
Qin Shu even hated to look at this person for one more second. After being stopped on the way, she sneered bluntly, “Yang Bin, I warned you that you must keep ten meters away from me! Did the time you spent in the detention house give you endless memories? Do you want to get inside and experience it again?”
“Why do you speak so harshly?” Yang Bin’s face turned red with anger when he recalled that unbearable period of time. He took a deep breath before he managed to calm himself down. “I just wanted to talk to you about something. Otherwise, do you think I would be happy to see someone like you?”
His tone seemed to be very disdainful, as if Qin Shu were someone, he disliked the most.
Qin Shu clicked her tongue in amazement. How was Yang Bin so brainless? He even put on an arrogant look when he wanted to talk to her. He just prayed no more once on shore.
“Good, I don’t like to see you either. It’s disgusting to see you for each time.” Qin Shu deliberately covered her eyes in exaggeration and walked around this freak to go inside.
How could Yang Bin let Qin Shu leave? He immediately stood in front of her and said angrily, “I haven’t finished talking yet! Let me ask you, did you hire someone to follow and photograph Tang Anru and me? You even used the photos of us to threaten her? A woman like you is too vicious!”
“So it’s because of the photos.” Qin Shu suddenly came to a realization and looked at Yang Bin with a faint smile.
She was feeling strange that Yang Bin would have wished he could avoid her, but why did he come to her on his own initiative this time? Thinking of that the Youth League Branch Secretary had urged her to come to the gathering party for no reason, Qin Shu estimated that it must be Yang Bin’s idea behind her back as well.
Yang Bin said angrily in a low voice, “Indeed, it was you who hired someone to follow and photograph Anru and me. How shameless!”
“Since when did I photograph you two adulterer and adulteress?” Qin Shu deliberately stressed the words “adulterer and adulteress” very hard. “I’m not a paparazzo, and you guys aren’t superstars. Who wants to know about the disgusting things between you…”
“Shut up!” Yang Bin was furious. He clenched his fists tightly and looked at Qin Shu as if he were looking at an enemy. “What adulterer and adulteress? You’re a woman, how are you shameless enough to say that? No wonder Qi Mingran broke up with you!”
Qin Shu shrugged and smiled. “Qi Mingran and I broke up because of your innocent and kind goddess, she was the mistress between us. Besides, Tang Anru clearly has a boyfriend, but she still hooks up with you. In ancient times, she would be sunk under the water for this kind of behavior of having a love affair stealthily.”
“You, you!” Yang Bin glared at Qin Shu angrily, wishing he could tear her mouth apart.
Qin Shu, on the other hand, had a very leisurely look on her face.
No one could compare with her in terms of the ability to talk nonsense.
Not to mention that she wasn’t spouting nonsense. Tang Anru indeed did not behave properly and dated two men at the same time. She cheated on Qi Mingran.
Seeing that Yang Bin was choked speechless, Qin Shu felt very happy in her heart and hummed a tone when she walked forward.
Unexpectedly, just as she took two steps forward, Yang Bin rushed over again, gritting his teeth and saying, “Fine! It’s my fault, I apologize to you for what I did to you earlier!”
“What do you want to do?” Qin Shu was shocked by the 180-degree turn of his attitude.
Yang Bin stared fixedly at her and forcefully suppressed his anger and grievances. He said, “Anru is innocent. It was my idea to cause trouble for you earlier. She doesn’t know anything. Don’t take revenge on her for that. I apologize to you now. If you destroy all the photos you’ve taken, I won’t cause you any trouble in the future. Anru is generous and tolerant, and she won’t hold you accountable for this matter… ”
“Wait.” The more Qin Shu listened, the funnier she felt it became. Her red lips couldn’t help but curl up. “Are you an idiot? When have I ever photographed your affair with Tang Anru? Why do you think I’m taking revenge on her? Yang Bin, I don’t think you want to talk to me tonight, you’re telling me a joke.”
As she spoke, she really couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
Yang Bin felt that his pride had been ruthlessly trampled under Qin Shu’s feet. The expression changed dreadfully on his face, and his entire body trembled with anger!
He had wanted to explode, but he stared at Qin Shu’s exquisite smiling face. Under the blurry neon lights, her eyes and brows became even more exquisite; her agile eyes shone brightly, even more beautiful than the best glass lamp on TV.
All of a sudden, all of his anger was gone, and all his words were stuck in his throat. He could not spit out a single word, only feeling his heart pounding.
He knew that Qin Shu was always attractive, but he never knew that she would smile so beautifully.
He was speechless for a moment.
Qin Shu did not notice Yang Bin’s unusual behavior. She thought that he was about to die from anger. After having enough of laughter, she said sympathetically, “For the sake of that we were classmates, I advise you to stay away from Tang Anru. Don’t let her make use of you and treat you like a tool every time.”
When it came to Tang Anru, Yang Bin woke up with a quiver and subconsciously retorted, “Anru is not that kind of person!”
“Whatever you think.” Qin Shu was too lazy to continue talking to him. “Anyway, in your opinion, I am an indecent woman of nature. Tang Anru is innocent and loves herself although she dates two men at the same time. Whatever you think is your business. But you’d better not provoke me. If you piss me off, I will definitely take revenge on her just like how you accused me of!”
Just as she finished speaking, Qi Mingran’s voice suddenly came from behind, “What did you mean by saying that she dates two men at the same time?”
Qin Shu and Yang Bin turned around at the same time and saw Tang Anru holding Qi Mingran’s hand and walking over with him. There were also a few university classmates beside them. They probably met at the gate.
It was unknown how much they heard Qin Shu’s words, but at this moment, Tang Anru’s expression seemed to be a little nervous. She was very afraid that something would be exposed in front of Qi Mingran and the classmates.
She suddenly looked at Qin Shu happily. “How nice. I didn’t expect you to come to the party. Are you feeling better?”
Qin Shu nodded indifferently.
Qi Mingran stared at Qin Shu and repeated, “Did you say that Anru dates two men at the same time?”
“Mingran, you heard wrongly. Qin Shu is not such a person. She will not slander me behind my back,” Tang Anru spoke first. Her voice was pleasant to the ear and her smile was gentle, but she revealed a trace of grievance just to the point.
She sounded like Qin Shu was slandering her behind her back.
Qin Shu immediately smiled. “Your ability to shift the blame to others is still so formidable. I am willing to candidly admit defeat.”
Tang Anru’s face immediately revealed grievances. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, but she did not argue. She only bit her pink lips gently.
Anyone who saw this scene would feel that Qin Shu was bullying Tang Anru.
Qin Shu really didn’t want to watch Tang Anru acting like this. She smiled and greeted those classmates. Then, she said calmly as if nothing had happened, “The class monitor and the Youth League Branch Secretary must have been waiting inside for a long time. Let’s go in as well.”
The classmates noticed the unusual atmosphere and hurriedly said, “Yes, it’s not easy for us to get together. Let’s forget about these things and go inside. We’ll see who is going to be late later. Anyone who is late will be punished to have wine, one glass of wine for each minute late!”
Thus, the few of them talked and laughed, walking towards the private room.
Qin Shu walked in front and could still feel three gazes staring at her from behind. She knew whose gazes they were without needing to guess.
“Mingran, let’s go in as well.” Tang Anru saw that the man beside her was still staring at Qin Shu’s slender back. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but her face did not reveal a single trace. She still smiled gently.
Qi Mingran glanced at Yang Bin and said to Tang Anru, “I have been busy with social engagement these days and haven’t kept you company much. You spent more time with Yang Bin almost than with me.”
Tang Anru’s smile stiffened slightly and she grumbled in a flirting manner, “Mingran, what nonsense are you talking about? Yang Bin and I are good friends. We only come out for dinning occasionally. Are you jealous? If so, then I’ll accompany you to dinner every night from now on, okay?”
Qi Mingran pursed his thin lips and didn’t say anything.
A trace of unease flashed through Tang Anru’s eyes. She suddenly bit her pink lips and said wrongly, “You, do you believe what Qin Shu said? Mingran, you know, Qin Shu is always blaming me for taking you away from her, it is inevitable that her words are not pleasant to the ear. I know that she did not mean it, and she only said that to make herself feel better. But you and I have been together for so long, don’t you know what kind of person I am?”
Her words sounded wronged and sad, and her eyebrows were slightly knitted, with her eyes hazy in tears. But she had to forcefully hold back her tears.
Qi Mingran immediately regretted it and gently hugged her into his arms. He comforted her, “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.”
Tang Anru nodded obediently. “Then next time, please don’t trust other people’s words so easily.”
Yang Bin saw that the two of them were hugging each other intimately, while he was standing there alone. In order to avoid suspicion, he could only pretend to greet Tang Anru as if they were friends. But his heart was filled with grievance and jealousy, so he could only bury his head in anger and walk inside.
Tang Anru leaned against Qi Mingran’s embrace and looked at Yang Bin’s back. Thinking of Qin Shu’s words, she tightly knitted her brows.
What could she do if Qin Shu revealed the photos in front of so many people later?
She had to quickly think of a countermeasure!
No, no, Qin Shu had a guilty conscience towards the Tang family. She wouldn’t expose the photos, or else she wouldn’t have waited until tonight.
Thinking so, Tang Anru was still uneasy. She always felt that something bad would happen to her at the party tonight.
